Ashcraft makes some pretty stupid articles: http://kotaku.com/5729319/arent-you-a-little-short-for-a-3ds-cable/gallery/
My thoughts are actually exactly the same as yours, Cyber Rat.
Totilo may seem a bit boring, but he has written some good articles and has a degree of professionalism lacking from the others, and Tim Rogers has some valid ideas hidden among the crap.
Plunkett is more like a paid troll.
Also, I should point out the first question says 'Who's you're least favorite Kotaku writer or contributor?' Mistakes can be easy to make (although, confusing averse and adverse may just be stupidity)
